Cardiac rehabilitation
Recovery, with people who get it.
Cardiac rehab is the single most underused therapy in cardiology — and one of the most powerful. Our 12-week program lowers re-hospitalization and adds years of healthy life, in a setting that feels more like a friendly gym than a hospital.

What we offer
Procedures and assessments
A focused, high-volume set of procedures — performed often and performed well, by the same senior team every time.
Supervised exercise sessions
Three sessions per week with continuous ECG monitoring and physiotherapist guidance.
Education workshops
Nutrition, medications, stress, sleep and intimacy after a heart event — small groups, real questions.
Psychological support
On-site counseling because anxiety and depression after a cardiac event are common — and treatable.
Smoking cessation program
Evidence-based behavioural and pharmacological support that doubles long-term quit rates.
Technology
The tools we use, by name
The equipment behind this specific service — chosen because precise tools support precise decisions.
- Telemetry ECG floor
Every patient is continuously monitored on a central station throughout each session.
- Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)
Peak VO₂ measurement to set precise, safe exercise zones.
- Cosmed treadmills & Wattbike ergometers
Hospital-grade equipment built for graded prescription, not casual gym use.
- Heart-rate-zone wearables
Patients leave each session knowing exactly what to do at home that week.

How to prepare
- Bring trainers, loose clothing and a water bottle.
- Bring your discharge summary and current medication list.
- Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before — not on an empty stomach, not just after a big meal.
- Take your normal cardiac medications unless told otherwise.
- Tell us about any new symptoms before the session — never push through chest pain.
Recovery & aftercare
- Personal exercise prescription
Heart-rate zones, weekly minutes and progression plan for home use.
- Alumni programme
Optional drop-in sessions twice a month to keep the habit alive.
- 6- and 12-month review
Repeat assessment to lock in gains and adjust medications as fitness improves.
"After my father's stent, the rehab team became part of our family's life. He's walking further now at 72 than he did at 60."
